Phaidra-Polyxeni (Xenia) Kaspar is a credentialed counsellor based in the south of the United Kingdom who brings both professional training and personal experience to her therapeutic work. She is a single mother of three teenage daughters and an adult son, and she draws on lived experience with trauma, grief, and neurodiversity to inform a compassionate, empathic approach to care.

She is also a CPCAB approved counselling tutor and holds NCPS, a professional counselling credential that reflects recognised training and standards in practice. Her clinical approach blends evidence-informed methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), DBT, Hypnotherapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy.

Her experience covers a wide range of concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship and family conflicts, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, addictions, intimacy-related and parenting issues, sleep difficulties, anger, low self esteem, career transitions, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, aging and geriatric matters, body image, chronic illness and pain, codependency, communication and control difficulties, and other complex presentations.

Kaspar emphasizes respectful, sensitive, and nonjudgmental care, tailoring sessions to each person’s unique needs and working collaboratively to identify goals and practical steps. She acknowledges that taking the first step toward therapy can be challenging and offers encouragement to those seeking support.
